Update German translation to recent code additions, but also switch several
terms from uncommon translations back to English vocabulary.

This most prominently concerns "commit" (noun, verb), "repository" (both in
the second commit), and "branch" (this and others in the third commit).
These uncommon translations have been introduced long ago and never been
changed since. In fact, the whole German translation here hasn't been
touched for a long time. However, in German literature and magazines,
git-gui is regularly noted for its uncommon choice of translated vocabulary.
This somewhat distracts from the actual benefits of this tool. So it is
probably better to abandon the uncommon translations and rather stick to the
common English vocabulary in git version control.

The glossary is adapted to the git-core glossary at
https://github.com/ruester/git-po-de/wiki/Translation-Guidelinesand the
changed and updated terms are used in the actual translation accordingly.
